I liked Elden Ring's approach to guiding players around its world with its various uses of light. While not at all subtle, it also wasn't immersion breaking like the damnable yellow paint is in RE4 and FF7. Also just give a toggle feature for such things, problem solved: if some players want it, cool, but let everyone else turn it off.

Speak for yourself! A sheer cliff in place of textured rock that looks climbable but isn’t would be very ugly. Since part of my enjoyment of gaming is based on beautiful graphics, I’d skip anything that looked the way you described.

I don't know what you're picturing that you think "no obvious footholds where you're not meant to climb" would be a graphical downgrade. It can still be just as realistically textured, as real life actually has sheer rock walls that you couldn't climb without equipment.

I'm sure gamers wouldn't complain about sheer cliffs being everywhere or whine about that breaking their immersion.

First of all, no, gamers would not forgive them.

Second of all, you...used an image where the climbable areas are clearly marked. And the thing is that that's usually the case! While all cliff faces are naturalistic, there's almost always something that sets the climbable surfaces apart. In some games, it's more subtle, or it has to be actively toggled (e.g. using the Focus in Horizon Forbidden West), but it's still present.

Yeah, and that's the discourse. People are mad about specifically yellow paint being used to mark this stuff. They want it to "just look" climbable. "Naturally".

I think they just think recognizable conventions are automatically bad, but I don't know, I'm not a "gamer".

Gamers who want to enjoy a game would forgive you.

CEOs who demand the mostest realsististec graphics so they can lord 0.1% better sales over their rival CEOs would not.

[(Anonymous)]

They absolutely won't because gamers WILL try to climb sheer walls. Just see the old Skyrim horse meme.

Ah yes, horse tilt.
